✅ Yes

~61 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 980 is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 61 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 61 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	61	61
1440p	37	61
4K	21	49

At 1080p expect around 61 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 49 FPS with optimized settings. God of War Ragnarök doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
